STM32L0538-DISCO - 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ 64Kb Flash Discovery Kit

STM32L053C8 discovery kit is best for ultra low power embedded application, featuring STM32L0 series MCU incorporating ARM Cortex M0+ core.

The STM32L053C8 discovery kit features the STM32L053C8T6 MCU with 64KB Flash memory and 8 Kbyte RAM in LQFP48 package. Therefore enables both advanced and beginners to make use of 2.04 E-paper display, Linear touch sensor and touch keys.

The STM32L053C8 board integrate an ST-Link debugger/programmer with a separate selection-mode switch which enables the board to be used as a standalone ST-LINK/V2-1. The board has three functionality USB support: Virtual COM port, mass storage, debug port. A separate USB-OTG is also provided for further debugging of the board.

STM32L0 discovery kit also expands the possibility for integrating other technology into the current version of the board via NFC connector for PLUG-CR95HF-B board. For easy software development, user can look for online tool with a support of Mbed online tools facility.Comprehensive free software including a variety of examples, part of STM32CubeL0 package.
